There are some big changes happening here at the studio. I bought a big pile of vintage neves, which inspired me to cut cut holes in a door and turn it into a desk so that I could mount them in all their glory. Progress pics and a very Sweetwatery closeup if you swipe through.

But above all of these things, he is a slab of Grade A, uncut BEEF. Here he is seen with a photo of his childhood mentor Hieronymus Beef, who gave him invaluable early instruction, shaping him into the stud you see before you.

Today I am tickled to the marrow of my bones, because Ana Egge’s 12th studio album Between Us is finally available on all streaming platforms. Her dedication, vision and grace through the last months has been an absolute pleasure to witness.

It’s an album that feels subversive and expansive, a rallying cry and a confession. Please listen, and please let me know what you think.

My album Down Where the Valleys are Low: Another Otherworld for Judee Sill is out today. It has been a mind blowing, humbling experience to eat sleep and breathe Judee’s music. The worlds that she created in her songs are scary, cruel and beautiful, much like her life, cut too short.

On this album I tried to tell her story using her own words. A portrait of her highlighting the dirtier, more earthbound aspects of her life.

I’m very grateful to all of the people who helped make this album. The singers, the sidemen, and the postproduction people each brought incredibly special ingredients. Dick Connette and Connie Kirch at StorySound took a chance on me and on this record, and I’m moved every day by their commitment to getting it out into the world.

Johnny V Lewis, Chris Schoonover, Nathan Golub and Henry Diltz informed and heightened the meaning of the record with their visual contributions. Alex Diaz and Lewis Klahr built beautiful kaleidoscopic universes for their videos.

Ok think I hear the orchestra playing me off. I can’t wait to hear what you think.

If you have someone in your life who hits things in time you should show them love. Here are the excellent people who wielded hammers and sticks on Down Where the Valleys are Low:

who played Wurlitzer and organ and brings levity and class to every musical occasion.

Bill Ruyle on the hammer dulcimer making strange medieval magic.

who’s sense of song arc, dynamics and expression are such an incredible asset in the studio.

who needs no introduction, and also almost never needs more than one take, he plays the perfect thing as soon as he sits down.

whose feel and musical choices are both surprising and captivating.

Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather! Here’s another cover from our series recorded at Restoration Sound to brighten your day.
"Make Me Feel," a song I recorded at Restoration Sound in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, released today and I feel like it's the start of a new chapter in my recording career. We took a visceral lyric that is a reaction to public events and paired it with music inspired by early 00s indie rock that you can move your hips to. I finally struck a balance between having something to say and having fun. I'm so proud of what we created! I hope you love it!
